Birth Date: 7/26

Birth Weight/Length: 7lbs 10oz?/? lol

Current Weight/Length: Last weight was 13lbs and 24.5"

Clothing size and diapers: Can still fit in 0-3 but since most of our cooler weather clothing is 3-6 that's what he wear most of the time. Size 2 diapers.

Milestones: Rolling over & babbling. Still not grasping or laughing really.

Anything random (personality, STTN?, Laughing?, etc): He LOVES to talk in the AM and loves bedtime (just like his Momma!). He also loves to nuzzle when he's getting sleepy. He will just rub his face all over you. Also, now that he can roll over he wakes up with snot all over his face when he is congested because he rubs his face on the sheets. Gross.

[lindy]

Birth date: 7/27

Birth weight: 8 lb 4 oz and 21"

Current: He was 16.5 lbs and 25.5" at 3 months.

Clothing size: He has a long torso so is in 3-6 month pants but 9 or 6-12 month everything else.

Milestones: rolls belly to back, babbles, and started grasping toys.

Random: loves to smile and does small giggles. He will occasionally STTN but normally gets up once. He's started to droll a lot, gross. He loves the bumbo because he always wants to be in a sitting position.

Birth Date: July 28

Birth Weight/Length: 7 lbs 12 oz, 20"

Current Weight/Length: About 14 lbs

Clothing size and diapers: 3-6 month clothes, size 2 diapers

Milestones/Randoms: Smiles socially all the time but no laugh just yet. Varied coos - says things like ma and boo and goo the most. Blows spit bubbles and grabs at hanging toys/my face. Loves storytime - will focus on the book and "read" along with you. Nowhere near STTN - still up every 1-2 hours.

Birth Date:
August 2

Birth Weight/Length:
7lbs7oz, 21 inches

Current Weight/Length:
No idea but two weeks ago he was 11lbs14oz and 24.4 inches

Clothing size and diapers:
3 and 3-6 month onsies and sleepers, 0-3 month pants, and size 2 diapers

Milestones:
He rolled over from belly to back last night and again this morning!

Anything random (personality, STTN?, Laughing?, etc):
I love watching his personality develop. He's such a sweet and silly boy. He has been consistently sleeping through the night for the past two weeks. No laughs yet, but lots of smiles! He is starting to become more vocal too. His audiology appointment is tomorrow, I hope it goes well. He still doesn't turn his head toward sounds but I've noticed that if I talk to him on his right side he will blink and his face will react but if I talk on his left side he doesn't react at all. We'll see.

Photoshoot blooper...



All pooped out from taking cute pictures!

7/15

4 lbs 5.8 oz/18.75(I think)

Two weeks ago he was 10lbs 3 oz and about 22 inches but not sure of the accuracy

0-3 clothing and size 1 diapers

For milestones he's cooing and smiling. Grabbing and batting at toys.

He's a pretty chill baby who only usually cries when he's hungry or gassy. His favorite activities include what we call running marathons on the floor. He loves to kick his legs. He gives us about 6 hours at night.

Here he is during one of his marathons

[boox191]

Birth Date: 7/23

Birth Weight/Length: 5lbs 13oz, 17.75

Current Weight/Length: I'm guessing 13lbs? Haven't weighed her since my last bf group on 10/12.

Clothing size and diapers: Still some NB, mostly 0-3

Milestones: Giggles! More a chuckle, but it's the cutest thing. Only for me, but social smiles for everyone.

Anything random (personality, STTN?, Laughing?, etc): She consistently sleeps 6-7 hours a night. It's awesome. Also, she still hates tummy time, but is really strong with her head. She LOVES her kick and play piano!

It did work boox191

7/23 birthday also.

Birth weight 6 lbs, length 19.5"

Not exactly certain of current, next doctors appointment is 4 month check up. I'm pretty certain he finally hit 10 lbs, I think he'll be 11 lbs At his 4 month check up.

Size 1 diapers. Just barely fitting into 0-3 clothes, he's already too long for a few outfits.

He's super vocal, tons of chattering, cooing, some mimicking of sounds we make. He's laughing and giggling a bunch as well. He's grabbing onto toys as well.

He's sleeping well for the most part. He's getting so much better about holding his head up and loves it when we go on walks around the house just looking at everything. His hands are constantly going into his mouth, he'll only take a pacifier when he's tired, which I think is great!



Trying to see if he can get the links and his hand into his mouth.

[abvintage]

boox191 so cute!!

[telos]

Birth Date: 7/21

Birth Weight/Length: 7lbs15oz, 19in?

Current Weight/Length: When I weighed him a few weeks ago he was 17.2 lbs., not sure how long. He was about 25 in at 2 months, so I think possibly over 26 in.

Milestones: grabs toys and takes them to his mouth

Anything random (personality, STTN?, Laughing?, etc): he's a super smiley and happy boy!

7/29
7lbs 12oz
I have no idea what she weighs now.
0-3 and 3-6 depending on what it is. Size 2 diapers.

She is a chatterbox, constantly making some kind of noise. She always wants something in her mouth, nipple, pacifier, hands, toys. She will reach out and grasp toys and has been rolling to her side.

Impossible right? Yeah, sorry about that.

[elvenqueen]

Birth Date: 7/26

Birth Weight:
A: 6lbs5oz
E: 5lbs6oz

Current Weight:
A: roughly 14lbs
E: Roughly 12lbs

Clothing size and diapers:
A: 3-6 month, size 3 diapers*, big huge tummy so nearly ready for a size up for bottoms
E: mostly 0-3 month but some 3-6, size 3 diapers*

Milestones:
A: nonstop cooing, "talking" with syllables, big smiles for anyone and everyone, blowing bubbles and almost-raspberries. Grasping objects and occasionally batting. Some mini push-ups during tummy time and one roll over.
E: starting to vocalize, smiles and talks to toys, almost giggles when we play, puts down weight on her feet (I swear she'd be standing if she had balance), hates tummy time but has good head control. 

Anything random (personality, STTN?, Laughing?, etc):
I think they'd be close to sstn if we still co slept but since booting them to the crib, we get 3-4 hr stretches. A is an absolute flirt, and E is a lot quieter/independent, if that's the right word. They're starting to notice each other and smile and coo at one another -- melts my heart!

Eta: *There might be a difference between Europe and North Amer. diaper sizes? I feel like there is, and if size 3 seems ginormous, this is why. My babies have skinny bums, really.

[kaeguri]

Birth Date:
8/3
Birth Weight/Length:
8lb 15oz, 22.5"
Current Weight/Length:
somewhere between 15-16 lbs. our scale says 16 but I think that's a little high. 25"
Clothing size and diapers:
9 month. She still fits 6 month shirts and sweaters. OS diapers, second or last rise because her butt is long.
Milestones:
she follows people around the house with her head, batting at toys, grabbing at clothes (especially skirts) so she can put them in her mouth, and she turned on her side for the first time yesterday. She used the crib side to kick herself onto her side so I think that's cheating.
Anything random (personality, STTN?, Laughing?, etc):
she talks nonstop, moves constantly, laughs a lot more, and loves to look at herself in the mirror

Milestones: rolls back to belly and back again. He's a lot more alert and happy.

Anything random (personality, STTN?, Laughing?, etc): I call anything more than 7hrs sttn, so sttn. He does laugh, but I really have to work it out of him. He loves attention.

[cookiedough22]

Is the rolling over something that just happens or is it something I can work on. He's not even close to leaning on his side.

My understanding is that tummy time helps them develop those muscles. Maybe try placing him on his side when you are playing? It's pretty normal for babies to not be rolling until about 5 months.

I am not encouraging it at all this time. With my first I had no idea how nice it was to find the baby in the same place as when I left and not with a leg stuck under the couch or something.

Yep, tummy time helps. You can also put baby on their side and let them practice going all the way over. You can lay them on a blanket and then lift the blanket so they roll.

It's not only the strength to do the rolling, it's remembering how to put their arms, what to do with their feet, how to have their legs.

This. All of this.

Can I say this thread is making me sad.

1. Our kids are growing to fast
2. Ethan is closer to being 4 months old than he is to 3

Amelia will be 6 months in like 2 weeks. Where did it go?

[hopefulreturn]

Birth Date: 8/1

Birth Weight/Length: 7lbs 20in.

Current Weight/Length:10lbs 14oz 23 in.

Clothing size and diapers: 3 month clothes and size 1 diapers

Milestones: she's blabbing, smiling, grabbing and constantly sucking her hands. Recently I've noticed her trying to bring items to her mouth. We now need to increase tummy time to keep building those muscles.

Anything random (personality, STTN?, Laughing?, etc): I feel like her personality is really coming through. Even with increased uncomfortable reflux, she's a happy girl! She's also been sleeping 8-9 hours a night! Getting her to sleep is a nightmare but then she makes it worth it.

[lawndog1216]

All you gals with the babies that STTN... jealous doesn't even begin to describe it.

Birth Date: 08/04

Birth Weight/Length: 6 pounds 11 ounces/20 inches

Current Weight/Length: no idea -- I'd guess 13 pounds and 23 inches.

Clothing size and diapers: 3-6; plain 3 is getting tight, lengthwise. Size 1 diapers still.

Milestones: Lots of social smiles, lots of "turn-taking" when we "talk." She rolled from back to side tonight, and probably would have rolled to her belly had I not squealed and scared the shit out of her. Today she also scooched herself 90 degrees from where I left her.

Anything random (personality, STTN?, Laughing?, etc): She's gone from v. srs. baby to smiley baby. I'll edit to post one of her "very serious" faces when I go back to my phone. I'm AWFUL about remembering tummy time, but I wear her a TON and she has amazing head/neck control. She's giving me a good chunk of sleep, usually waking around 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. to eat, and then up around 7 for the day. But she'll go to sleep anytime between 8 and 11 and you never know which one it is. Also I have nothing that even remotely resembles a schedule going on with her, and it's starting to stress me out.

Pictures!
Will ETA shortly.

On 11/6 She was 11lbs 1oz and 22"
